The pool's water is heated via photovoltaic panels on the roof, which help generate energy for the entire dwelling. "The bridge aspect allows for less land to be disturbed, which means less impact on its immediate physical environment," the architect said in a project description. The Bridge House is located on a one-third acre property in the city's Brookside neighbourhood, which dates to the 1920s.

The true feat of craftsmanship, which appears to be two structures made out of wood, tent and tarps, sits perched over the Arroyo Seco just off the side of the freeway. Piles of particularly placed rocks separate the home from the river's cement embankment, and a makeshift fence encircles what looks to be a side yard. The house is located on a pedestrian-only street in the middle of the Olvera St area. There are parking lots around that you can pay to park at, or you can always take the train to Union Station and then just walk across the street. From there, you just head down Olvera St, and it is pretty much right in the middle.

The complaint calls for the court to impose a “reasonable punishment,” including referring Helzer’s conduct to the Alaska Bar Association or holding her personally liable for civil fines and attorney fees. Under Anchorage city code, the Assembly chair, by a majority vote of the Assembly, can issue subpoenas that compel the release of documents and/or sworn testimony for information regarding public matters it is considering. Historically, Assembly subpoenas have been used rarely, though the Assembly has issued several since Bronson took office. The Anchorage Assembly on Wednesday called on the state Superior Court to enforce a subpoena requiring the municipal attorney to produce documents related to a dispute over restoring water to the Eklutna River. The Pingora's bathroom is situated on the opposite side of the home to the living room and looks quite snug. Above the bathroom is a small secondary loft that can be reached by ladder and offers a little extra storage space.

In September 2009, the first board meeting of the LA River Revitalization Corporation was held. Harry B. Chandler was elected first chair of the board, and Omar Brownson was hired in 2010 to be the founding executive director. The first development project undertaken by LARRC was creating a public-private partnership to create the first pedestrian, bike and equestrian bridge across the river. Developer Mort La Kretz provided the seed financing for the bridge, which was built next to the 5 freeway in the Elysian Valley by the Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering and completed in 2020. The private sector features a Master Suite with a walk in closet, attached bathroom, and private sanctuary garden. The suite is uniquely characterized by a warm wood wrapping all walls, in addition to the hallmark large windows that open out to reveal an abundant landscape of greenery.

The 179,434-square-foot project will be completed next year and is set to open in the fall of 2024. They say the utilities do not have the right to impact Anchorage’s drinking water infrastructure without Assembly approval. The Assembly has repeatedly called for Bronson officials to make the term sheet public. The legal action by the Assembly comes as part of an ongoing disagreement with Mayor Dave Bronson’s administration and Southcentral Alaska electric utilities over a legally required effort to reduce harm to fish and wildlife caused by a dam that dries up the 12-mile Eklutna River.

Alberta Sheriffs, Fish and Wildlife, Alberta Forestry, Correctional Officers, Alberta Forestry, Peace River Fire Department, St. Isador Fire Department, Grimshaw Fire Department, Fairview Fire Department, water bombers and helicopters all helped with evacuation and firefighting efforts. The technology gives secure access to vendors coming and going, allowing property management and maintenance the ability to track those workers while on site. The electric utilities plan to submit their program to Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy before the end of the month. In a letter sent to Helzer about the subpoena last week, attorneys for the utilities said they do not waive their rights to confidentiality in accordance with the 2017 agreement. Guests will receive a rental agreement, which must be signed and returned directly to the property prior to arrival. If the agreement is not received, the guest should contact the property management company at the number on the booking confirmation.

The result of Dan’s inspiration, paired with his unique background and signature style, is a pointed approach to development and a brilliant use of space. Once inside the home, it is clear that square footage and physical measurements do not describe the emotion that Bridge House evokes, and this is exactly how Dan intended for it to be. Instead, the spatial choreography of light and volume convey drama and intrigue.​In this case, simplicity is key, less is more, and the concept of a modular space leaves no room for exploiting geometry. Dan also drew inspiration from his early modernists Pierre Koenig FAIA, Mies van der Rohe FAIA, and Craig Ellwood.

The Division of Forestry did not initially have an estimate on the size of the fire that was burning in a heavily forested area along the riverbank. But a Forestry spokesperson said it was reported under control by mid-afternoon. Clint Johnson, with the National Transportation Safety Board, said the cause of the crash remains under investigation. Several details of the flight, including the plane’s operator, are also still being determined. Alaska State Troopers say no survivors have been found after a large cargo plane crashed near Fairbanks Tuesday with two people aboard.

In a letter to the Assembly earlier this month, Helzer accused an Assembly leader of “disrespectful and unprofessional behavior” during a meeting in the city attorney’s office to view confidential legal documents. With that deadline rapidly approaching, the Assembly called for the court to immediately consider the matter, requesting a judge to set a hearing Monday for Helzer to justify her position, or for Helzer to turn over the documents by noon Friday. The Assembly asked the court to enforce the subpoena, asked that Helzer be held in contempt of court for refusing to comply, and that she be ordered to “show cause” or justify why she shouldn’t be punished for refusing to produce the documents.

Daily updates on the latest design and architecture vacancies advertised on Dezeen Jobs. The architect worked with a long list of brands to realise the house, including Caeserstone, Stickbulb and even BMW. Throughout the coming year, a variety of events and exhibitions will be hosted at the dwelling. In terms of the structural system, the house has a modular steel frame created by Canadian company Bone Structure. Informed by the aerospace industry, the patented system combines standard post-and-beam construction with eco-friendly strategies, such as using recycled steel and minimising waste. Rooms are fitted with large windows that bring in light and provide a connection to the outdoor landscape.

Brunn is also collaborated with Western Window Systems to outfit the dwelling with state-of-the-art solutions that utilize thermally broken aluminum and dual-pane low-E glass, responsible for lessening the home’s ecological footprint while providing a direct relationship with the outdoors.

The Bridge House's long profile is not fully evident from the street, as it stretches deep into the property.

The St. Francis Dam was built starting in 1924 (and through 1926), leading to the creation of a large reservoir in San Francisquito Canyon, and provided water for Los Angeles. Following the collapse of the dam, there was little appetite for large dams near the homes of Los Angeles' residents. Chris Klint is a web producer and breaking news reporter at Alaska Public Media. The technology connects the tenant to the building and offers control over thermostats, alarms and access controls to doors, among other benefits.

Brunn said these precedent buildings helped in his process of "rethinking suburban home development". Rectangular in plan, the home is 20 feet wide by 210 feet long (six by 64 metres). A large portion of the dwelling, measuring 65 feet (20 metres) in length, bridges a natural stream, giving the house its name. "Our outreach teams are working to urgently find housing for the individuals living in this encampment and address the safety issues posed by this structure and its proximity to the river," the statement said.

While not all of the proposed homes were built, many serve as a representation of the simplistic aesthetic elements of mid-century modern architecture, highlighted by clean lines and delineated spaces. Brunn, who studied architecture at Harvard's Graduate School of Design, founded his studio in 2005. His projects include the renovation of a 1970s house designed by architect Frank Gehry, the design of a flagship store for clothing brand Road to Awe, and the creation of a Las Vegas boutique with illuminated glass shelves. According to the Assembly’s complaint, Municipal Attorney Anne Helzer did not produce the documents after Assembly Chair Christopher Constant sent her a subpoena last week. They include a binding term sheet that could govern the city’s rights and access to drinking water from Eklutna Lake for the next 25 years. The River House is a detached holiday home with a garden, located in Rogue River in the Oregon Region.
